Academy Adaptive Climbing aims to create an inclusive climbing community for athletes with physical or cognitive disabilities in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas. Our programs offer a space that is supportive and consistent to help participants achieve their personal climbing goals regardless of disability.

We value accessibility of climbing, community and challenging perspectives of what is possible for someone with a disability.

There are a few different ways to get involved:

Adaptive Climbing Nights

We offer monthly climbing nights. 3rd Sunday of every month. 6-8pm. $20 per athlete. If you’re looking for a casual, fun and supportive environment to climb, these nights are for you!

6-week Climbing Course

Twice per year, the Academy partners with Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute for a 6-week rock climbing course. With one on one volunteers, this is a great opportunity for people to try climbing for the first time.

Registration for participants and volunteers is through Courage Kenny only. Go HERE to register.

Private Lessons

Looking for a quiet place to try climbing? Looking to work on specific climbing skills? Our coaches at the Academy are skilled in climbing technique and training and are available to set up one time or ongoing private lessons.
